Interestingly, the Nordic countries (often used as examples of ideal socialism), have a high percentage of private roads. Might actually work better than the national infrastructure approach: https://devoelmoorecenter.com/2018/02/28/why-the-u-s-should-adopt-the-nordic-approach-to-private-roads/ https://devoelmoorecenter.com/2018/02/28/why-the-u-s-should-...

The private roads in Sweden tend to be gravel tracks serving a handful of households. Or logging roads. Some exceptions exist with paved networks of small, suburban streets, but there the "arteries" are still typically public. And there are private railroads that connect a single industry or mine to the public network. If you are on a paved road, wide enough for two cars to meet, it is almost certainly public.
